Butter Streusel Topping

1 cup	all-purpose flour
¼ cup	light brown sugar
1 teaspoon	ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon	salt
6 tablespoons	Plugrà^® Premium Butter, unsalted, room temperature

Peach Muffins

3¼ cups	all-purpose flour (divided, see method)
1 tablespoon	baking powder
1½ teaspoons	salt
6 tablespoon	Plugrà^® Premium Butter, unsalted, softened
1¾ cups	granulated sugar
1	large egg
2	large egg yolks
1 teaspoon	vanilla extract
1 cup	whole milk
2 cups (10 ounces)	chopped peaches

1	Make the butter streusel topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or clean fingers until the mixture is the texture of fine crumbs. Using your hands, squeeze together the mixture to form large clumps. Store, refrigerated, until ready to use.
2	Make the peach muffins: Heat oven to 375ºF. Line 2 large muffin tins (3 ½-inch cups) with 10 large muffin papers.
3	In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups and 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until smooth and light, about 3 minutes.
4	Add egg, egg yolks, and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Gradually mix in flour mixture, alternating with the milk, and mixing between each addition, beginning and ending with flour.
5	Remove bowl from mixer. Gently fold remaining 2 tablespoons flour together with the chopped peaches. Stir peaches into batter. Divide batter between muffin cups, each cup should have about 2/3 cup batter. Distribute streusel topping among muffins, gently pressing onto batter.
6	Bake until light golden and cooked through, 38 to 45 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.
